Honestly, that's not what it does. Rather than tracing your actual ancestry, it's looking at the geographic distribution of the various genes in it.
Thus, it can't tell you the names of your ancestors, but it can certainly tell you where they probably came from.

The cost of replacement parts is a different issue.
Most of the cost for spare parts comes from the company having to sit on a huge pile of them for years taking up space in their inventory.
Compare the cost of your car when it was new with the cost of all the replacement parts you would need to build a replica of it.
